No Seriously, I had to unplug it and pack it away so I would stop playing and start cleaning...

Andrea from the little collection stopped by today for tea (thank you for the tea by the way!) yum! , and we swapped stories about sewing, and I've taken one of her stories and hope to make it my reality...

She says, her grandmother, makes a few quilts, then stops, and makes quilts to use up all the scraps before she then begins again... Did I get that right Andrea?

Umm, note to self...DUH!Why does that seem so easy to grasp but impossible to do????

AAAACCHHOOOO! DUST BUNNY HELL.

But Before I unplugged, yesterday I got some bakery words done for Siobhan! of scraps and threadtales...Cupcake, and Maple Scone. I was going for homemade Vermont sign look on Maple scone, not sure if that works or not...

I got my African textile quilt off the design wall but the others will have to wait till Fall. I'll be thinking about them all summer!

I wonder how Andrea's grandma got her scraps to come out even? And the quilts wouldn't be that scrappy, if it's just fabric from a few quilts. That's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it.I like that b&W on your design wall. Right now it looks like a house with a candy tile roof!

with all the fabric cutting going on in here it does get dusty way too much!I should clean it more than I do!your just taking one bin with you for the whole summerwell if you need anything just let me know and I will send you a care package!

I know how much I need to clean my sewing room by how "less black" my Scottie dog is when he walks out of mine. I was so embarrassed the other day when I went to the door for the mailman and this very active dust monster with a long selvage strip wrapped around its tail followed me to the door....

Well. I actually cleaned one half of my one table today. It made me sneeze too.. ha-ha-ha. You won't need more than one pin cushion. :-) But I'm betting yer gonna get tired of just quilting.. and will want to do some piecing. But this will be good for you to get them done. If you have some rainy days that is! Binding is fun too.
